Sewer rates rising

"The food was wonderful and the deserts were tremendous. We have a good bunch of cooks," said Fitch. The Thanksgiving meal was free for seniors and only $2.50 for all others. "This is the first year that we've prepared all of the food.

We normally do a potluck but our new nutrition program has allowed us to do this," said East Toledo Senior Center Director Mary Wolff. "We supply the whole meal and we asked the seniors to bring the deserts." (Press photos by Stephanie Szozda)

Oregon council on Monday is expected to raise the sewer rate to pay for Phase I of the wastewater treatment plant improvement project.

The city has planned on raising rates for the last few years, but just recently established the higher amount.

The project is in accordance with the city’s EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, which requires the city to increase the secondary treatment capacity of the wastewater treatment plant from 24 million gallon per day to 36 million gallons per day to eliminate secondary treatment bypasses and sanitary sewer collection system overflows during wet weather.

The project is being constructed in two phases over the next five years. Phase I is nearly completed.

The $16 million project is being funded by a combination of a grant, loans, and city funds.

“This ordinance is needed to establish a capital improvements charge to pay the debt on Phase I of the Wastewater Treatment Plant Secondary Treatment Improvements Project,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman at a committee of the whole meeting last week. “Council is aware of the project, which we have been working on since 2009.”

The completion of Phase I is expected in three months, he added.

“We will be required to start paying on the loans in 2015. The capital improvements charge will go on the sewer bills starting in January,” he said.

The sewer bill will go up by $8.58 per quarter, which would be $34.32 per year, he said. The rate will be charged to all sewer customers over a 20 year period to pay off the loans.

“The debt charge is simply the annual loan payment for a particular project divided by the average wastewater volume.

We came up with a cost per volume. In this case, we used 1,000 cubic feet, which is what our billing structure is based on,” said Roman.

There will be a second charge for Phase 2 also in 2015.

“Our rates right now are the lowest in Northwest Ohio. And even with this wastewater treatment plant improvement project, with both phases and charges to the rate structure, we will still be the lowest in Northwest Ohio,” said Roman.

The Water and Sewer Committee held a meeting to discuss the capital improvement charge just before the committee of the whole meeting on Monday.

“It was a really good meeting,” said Councilmember Kathleen Pollauf, chairperson of the committee. “[The improvement] is mandated by the EPA. It also serves quite a few benefits to the area. Yes, there are charges that concern quite a few people. But this is something that needs to be done.”

Councilman Tim Zale said the project’s cost is less than expected.

Lake

Township asked to not intervene in rate case

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublicatins.com The Lake Township trustees were asked Tuesday to reconsider their decision to intervene in a rate case FirstEnergy has filed with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.

Hans Rosebrock, an economic development manager for FirstEnergy, said the company’s rate plan filed in August is designed to “help shore up” the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant and two other plants.

The plan, if approved by the PUCO, would cover electric service for consumers from June 2016 through May 2019 and set a 15-year agreement between FirstEnergy Solutions, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy, for

purchasing power through Davis-Besse, the W.H. Sammis Plant and Ohio Valley Electric Corp. units. The utilities would sell power into the wholesale market and when wholesale prices exceed costs, consumers would receive a credit; when wholesale prices are less than costs, consumers would pay a charge.

Rosebrock said the company is projecting the “cost-based” arrangement would save consumers $2 billion over 15 years.

The trustees took no action after his presentation.

In September, the trustees approved intervening in the rate case as a member of the Northwest Ohio Aggregation Coalition, which includes about a dozen townships and municipalities in Wood and Lucas counties that formed as a group to purchase

gas and electrical service.

Prior to the vote to intervene, Richard Welling, a trustee, read a message from Tom Hays, a former township solicitor who’s been working with NOAC, in which Hays contended consumers would “financially backstop” the output of the three power plants if the plan is approved.

Hays wrote FirstEnergy is proposing to buy power from FirstEnergy Solutions on a “cost plus basis” and then resell the electricity into the wholesale market, with any profits or losses to be passed onto consumers.

“Thus, consumers are guaranteeing the operation of facilities owned by FES for 15 years regardless of market or regulatory conditions,” Hays wrote, adding it defeats the “notion of competition.”

Rosebrock said the plan will help protect consumes against long-term retail price volatility. He said an average residential customer using 750 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month could expect to pay on average about $3.50 more during the first full year of the plan. However, with expected increases in retail prices over the ensuing years, customers would then receive a credit on their bills.

In other business, the trustees approved a renewal of health insurance for township employees with Medical Mutual.

Melanie Bowen, who chairs the board of trustees, said the township will pay about $45,420 more annually for the coverage – an increase of about 15 percent.

About 30 employees are covered by the plan, she said.

Cedar Point Rd. sewers would spur development Oregon council on Monday will consider approving additional design engineering services from Poggemeyer Design Group to install a sanitary sewer for $105,963 as part of the Cedar Point Road Relocation project.

Cedar Point Road will be relocated approximately 1,000 feet south of its current location between Wynn Road and just east of Otter Creek Road. The purpose of the project is to accommodate future industrial growth for BP-Husky Refining and adjacent property owners.

To provide future sanitary sewer service to Wynn Road and Cedar Point properties near the intersection of the roads, the city decided to incorporate a new sanitary trunk sewer main in the design and construction of the Cedar Point Road Relocation project, which is expected to go out to bid in February.

“Currently, the city has almost completed the design of the relocation of Cedar Point Road between Wynn and Otter Creek roads,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman at a committee of the whole meeting last week. “When we’re looking at a road improvement, we want to look at the underground infrastructure to see if there is any potential of a future sanitary sewer, and whether we should accommodate for that sewer before we do the road project.”

Wynn is one of the few roads in Oregon that does not have sanitary sewer service as well as Cedar Point Road to the east, he said.

The Master Plan for sanitary sewers calls for a 24” trunk sewer down Wynn Road

“

If we were to take that project on in a few years after the road project, it would be a major disruption to the road.

“

to the Cedar Point Road intersection, then a 24” sewer heading east approximately 25-30 feet deep, he said.

Costs to install the sewer after the road is relocated would be steep.

“If we were to take that project on in a few years after the road project, it would be a major disruption to the road itself,” said

Roman, which could cost the city up to $90,000.

In addition, existing industries on Wynn Road, including Autoneum, Aspahlt Materials and Advanced Engineering are in need of a gravity sewer system. The companies have a private sanitary sewer system and accommodation taps with the city.

They pump their sewage to a pump station at Wynnscape, an industrial subdivision.

“I’ve met with them several times in the last year and they have had major problems with their sewage system. I have prepared a 2015 budget to look at paying for a trunk sewer as well as going forward with a local sewer to serve these entities, as well as Wynnscape,” he said.

Moreover, forty acres south of Wynnscape would likely develop sooner if there were sewers in the area, said Roman.

Administrator Mike Beazley agreed.

“We have existing businesses there,

industrial customers that have a need, but we’re really actively working on attracting additional industry to some of the industrially zoned area. We have a 40 acre parcel right along Wynn Road that is very attractive. One of the things that we are finding when we are working with the Regional Growth Partnership and others is that they want projects to be shovel-ready. Saying, `Yes, we can have a sewer some day,’ isn’t as nice as having a sewer. The economic development side of it and the potential for attracting another industry along there is important to Oregon,” said Beazley.

The estimated cost to construct the sewer is about $1.5 million, which would be born by the city, said Roman.

The $5 million Cedar Point Relocation project will be funded by an Ohio Development Services Roadway Development grant, BP-Husky Refining, and the city.

Sewer rates Continued from front page “An important point here is, because of some of the actions the city took prior to actually getting into this, we could have easily spent twice the amount on this infrastructure improvement than we are because of what we’ve done with sewer realignments and those kind of projects. So instead of $30 million, we’re actually looking at spending potentially less than $16 million, which is quite a cost savings. The additional equipment that will go into the new plant, and all the upgrades will actually end up saving us money in the long run,” said Zale.

Administrator Mike Beazley said after the meeting that the project will benefit “The basements and backyards of Oregon.”

“We’ll have fewer backups and it will help to deal with flooding as well. It also benefits Maumee Bay. Most communities don’t worry as much about the bay as much as we do. We happen to sit right on it, so it makes a difference to us,” he said.

Forfeited property to go on auction block

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Three properties in Lake Township and one in Northwood are among those to be offered in a Wood County forfeited land sale Dec. 3 in Bowling Green.

Twenty-seven properties are listed for sale, including the building and property at 3700 Williston Road where a Steve & Barry’s store had been located and two parcels on Plumey Road – all located in Lake Township – and a parcel on Sheffield Place in Northwood.

The properties are being sold due to tax delinquencies and have been forfeited to the state after failing to sell at a sheriff’s auction.

Other properties are located in Middleton Township, Perrysburg Township, Henry Township, Village of Haskins and Village of North Baltimore.

Several lots where the former Johnson Rubber Co. was located in North Baltimore are also among those to be auctioned.

If delinquent taxes are paid prior to the sale by owners, the parcels will be removed from the list.

Successful bidders will receive an auditor’s deed for each parcel for the purchase price and a fee of $5.50 for the deed and transfer fee, which will give clear title to the property.

However, federal tax liens, if any, are not extinguished by the sale, according to the auditor’s office.

The auction will differ from a sheriff sale. The parcels will be first offered at the outstanding tax amounts. If there are no bids for the tax amounts, the auditor will then accept bids less than the tax amounts and sell to the highest bidder.

Sale proceeds are applied to the outstanding tax amounts. Successful bidders will have no delinquent real estate tax liability for purchased parcels and will receive a tax bill for the first half 2014 tax statement that are due in February 2015.

According to the auditor’ office, the

land of the Williston Road site has a value of $191,300 and the building is valued at $128,600. The tax delinquency is $217,995. The next highest delinquency is $150,884 for the Johnson Rubber site at 587 Broadway in North Baltimore. The building has a value of $88,300 and the parcel is valued at $5,600.

The Williston Road property was pur-

chased in May 2008 for $6.4 million. The building was constructed in 1971.

The auction starts at 10 a.m. Bidders are asked to register at 9 a.m. for the sale, which will be held in the fifth floor hearing room of the county office building.

Information and aerial views of the parcels are available on the auditor website: www.co.wood.oh.us/auditor.

House rep-elect indicted in burglary case

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A Huron man who was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in November will enter a not guilty plea in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court to charges relating to a burglary.

Steven Kraus, a Republican who won the 89th District House seat, which covers Erie and Ottawa counties, was indicted recently on one count of burglary, a third degree felony, and one count each of breaking and entering and theft, fifth degree felonies.

His attorney, James Hart, of Sandusky, last week said a plea of not guilty will be entered during Kraus’ arraignment on Dec. 5.

The grand jury heard the case during its September session. The indictment, which was released Wednesday, alleges Kraus entered a Danbury Township residence around April 4 and took several items.

The township police department prepared a report of the matter. The value of the items is less than $1,000, according to the indictment.

“Steve took a polygraph exam at my direction and he successfully passed it,” Hart said. “This case was presented to another (special) prosecutor earlier in the summer who thought there was no criminal activity. It’s really all a misunderstanding and really unfortunate that this is on going but we will be vigorously defending this case.”

Kraus is a real estate agent and an auctioneer. According to Hart, Kraus went to the house at the request of another agent to inventory property for a possible auction, including a car in the garage.

The polygraph exam was conducted by a Norwalk firm on Sept. 29 and Kraus said he returned all the items taken from the residence. In a letter to Hart, the examiner said he found: “No specific reactions indicative of deception appeared on the charts when questions related to the investigation were asked during the examination, It is to be considered, therefore, that this subject told the substantial truth during the examination.”

Hart released the results of the exam in an Oct. 1 press release.

In spite of news accounts of the investigation swirling during his campaign for the House seat, Kraus was able to unseat Democrat Chris Redfern in the Nov. 4 election by less than 1,000 votes: 19,117 for Kraus to 18.198 for Redfern. Kraus received more votes in Ottawa County and Redfern won by a smaller margin in Erie County.

Redfern was also the Ohio Democratic Party chairman.

Students encouraged to care about others more

By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press news@presspublications.com Genoa Middle School staff members are daring students to “cross the line” this school year. This time, though, it’s a good thing.

A character building theme for teens, “Choose to Care”, is being intertwined into daily school activities. The push is always on to help kids excel at school work and on the playing field. This program goes beyond that to spur kids to open their eyes and hearts to others – to learn to care, explained guidance counselor Kathleen Bressan.

She and Principal Kevin Katafias choose a theme annually to promote student involvement and growth. They liked the “Choose to Care” program because it extends the caring to those around them and the community.

As a result, Student of the Month winners aren’t based solely on academic prowess. Teachers select honorees because they put the theme into action daily through multiple ways such as sharing, creativity, humor, loyalty, participation and compassion. Postcards sent home detail the students’ effort.

And at school, they are rewarded with pizza parties.

“It’s not just about academics,” Bressan emphasized. “It’s about being gentler, nicer, kinder…and the world can be a better place.”

Recent Student of the Month winners have been surprised by the reasons listed for their receiving the award. “A lot of

times they don’t realize that teachers notice more than just your grades,” the counselor said.

Simple gestures go a long way and can often have lasting, lifetime impact on others, Bressan reminded.

Staff kicked off the theme at the beginning of the school year by showing the kids a video that encouraged them to “be 212.”

Water, the video explained, is hot at 211 degrees Fahrenheit. It boils at 212. Boiling water produces steam, enough steam to power a train. The point: One degree can make all the difference.

And the kids are getting the message. If they make a little more effort or show a little more concern, they can become a powerful mechanism for change in the school and the world around them. They can also help reduce bullying and other bad influences, Bressan said.

They are taught that sometimes making a difference means putting oneself out there, crossing that line from apathy to effort.

The school year is filled with other incentives and fun events to reinforce the themes.

On Nov. 13, students packed into the cafeteria to take aim a Guinness World Record in sport stacking. Sport stacking with speed stacks is in more than 37,000 schools nationwide. Benefits include improved reaction time, hand-eye coordination, concentration and focus, according to the World Sport Stacking Association website.

The goal was to have 500,000 stackers undertaking stacking events around the world that day. To participate here,

students had to bring in jars of peanut butter designated for the local division of the Ottawa County Holiday Bureau headed up

by Catherine Aldrich, who helped with time keeping. The donations brought caring into the equation.

In this little corner of the world, enthusiastic middle schoolers stacked cups in two-minute intervals for 30 minutes while blindfolded, bouncing on exercise balls, hopping on one foot, with partners and even designing sculptures.

“I love seeing you do all this,” Bressan announced on a microphone during a time session. “It makes me smile.”

Michael Moll and his two pals agreed they needed to step it up in gym class after they exhausted themselves jumping up and down while stacking.

Adeline Linker didn’t want to stack at the event but asked if she could still bring in a jar of peanut butter.

Of course, said Bressan, who rewarded Linker with the temporary designation of assistant for the day – a job she took to heart.

The teen said she liked the chaotic event “because it gets kids involved.”

Linker even garnered her classmates’ attention in the last event of the day.

Students stacked the multi-colored stacking cups in a tower surrounding Linker in the center of the room and then she busted out to the applause of the crowd.

In all, there were 82 participants, so that much peanut butter was collected for the Holiday Bureau.

Every student received a certificate and seventh grader Alex Whon won a set of commemorative stackers.

The true value of life is determined more by our outlook than the external circumstances of our life. And although everything can be looked at in various ways, those people who are genuinely the happiest are usually the people who maintain a positive attitude despite the difficulties of their life.

This is perhaps the most fundamental question in determining our perspective on life, and we would do well to consider that God is in control and that events are unfolding exactly as they should, despite external appearances to the contrary.

Grant awarded The Wood County Humane Society received a grant from the Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society and PetSmart Charities to assist in managing the free-roaming feline population in Wood County. Funds are earmarked for providing free spay/neuter services and rabies vaccines for free-roaming, outdoor cats in the 43402 ZIP code.

The organization’s goal for this pilot program is to spay/neuter 250 freeroaming felines while partnering with Humane Ohio, which is a low-cost, high-quality, accessible spay/neuter clinic in the Greater Toledo Area.

After the pilot program is completed in February, the WCHS plans to expand the program to include all of Wood County. Expanding the program will depend largely on the organization’s successful fulfillment of the grant conditions for its pilot program, as well as additional fundraising efforts for the cause. The WCHS is accepting donations for their “Spay it Forward� campaign to be able to help assist with future spay/neuter surgeries for free-roaming cats.

Oregon Schools to emphasize the positive

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The loss of a 5.9-mill levy in the Oregon City Schools District earlier this month is prompting Superintendent Lonny Rivera to reevaluate the reasons behind the defeat.

Voters on Nov. 4 soundly defeated the levy 60.23 percent to 39.77 percent, according to unofficial results by the Lucas County board of elections. “I’m very aware that our message either has to be more fine-tuned or there’s something else I have to get out to our community,� said Rivera at a school board meeting last Tuesday. “I have been listening. But I can tell you this: We have been doing some wonderful things for kids. I always want to stay in a positive vein for what our district is about,� he said.

Many are still struggling economically, he added. “But our community is important, and the most important thing that we can have is our kids. I want to make sure that whatever we do, we constantly get a positive message out there,� he said.

He noted how the district has improved. “Out of 21 districts in the state of Ohio, Oregon was identified as one that has made a very large amount of improvement. We were acknowledged `for gap closure.’ This is for students who are struggling or who are typically behind – they could be special education students, students of minority or poverty. We have a number of issues that we deal with on a daily basis, yet our staff is getting the job done,� he said.

And Jerusalem Elementary School

was one of 17 schools in Northwest Ohio and one of 130 across the state to receive the designation as a “high progress school of honor,� said Board President Carol Molnar. “I think that we should be very proud of that,� she said.

Rivera cited the success of the reconfiguration of the district’s two middle schools as well. Raising academics, especially in grades five through eight, as well as more stringent common core standards, which began last year, is why the district made the changes. Eisenhower Middle School became Eisenhower Intermediate School, housing grades five and six. Fassett Middle School became a traditional junior high school with grades seven and eight. “The reconfiguration, which had some growing pains, is working. It’s making a difference. It’s funny to see some of the districts around us that people like to say are doing very well are following in our steps, doing the same things that we’re doing. So sometimes in a community, we can put our blinders on and not see all the good that’s happening. And sometimes it’s hard for us to tell everything that’s going on. But I truly know that we have committed individuals here making great things happen,� he said.

Levy next year Another attempt to pass a levy will be made next year, he said. “I want to cheer our staff on because they are doing a great job. We’re going to have to come back to the voters for support. We’ve got some ideas of what we may have to do at this point. But to get the word out to our community - that’s what I’m really hoping that many of you can do. We’re going to have a larger scale effort the next time around. I’m very optimistic for what

we’re doing, what we’re accomplishing. We have a great group of people here. We have a great community. And I know that it’s going to work out for us here in the end,� said Rivera.

Board Member Jeff Ziviski agreed that many are unaware of the progress that is being made in the district. “From the day of the election, we started our next levy campaign. Lonny and his team have done a tremendous job of moving the district forward educationally. I think they just need a little bit more time for their efforts to be shown to the community,� said Ziviski. “There’s a lot of complaints about how high Oregon’s property taxes are. We need to get that message out that we’re one of the lowest out there,� he added. “When you go to the neighboring communities, they are a lot higher than Oregon. We need to get that message out. It’s been eight years since we’ve had new money passed for the schools. Look at other districts. It’s three or four years they’re always going back. We’ve done a lot internally to tighten up our belts and do what we can.�

Changes are also in the works, he said. “We have to make cuts and reductions.

We’ve got to have a plan that, if next year we don’t get new money, what’s going to happen? And the easy answer to that is, anything that is not state mandated. That list is long. Lonny and the board are going to have to get together and talk about that and prioritize things. We had six resignations that we approved tonight. Do we need to fill those, can we vacate them through attrition? Some tough decisions will have to be made. Unfortunately, people are going to feel them to some extent. But I think we’ve got to tailor our message and keep plugging on the positive and we’ll be set.�

In Lake Township, bargaining unit being discussed

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com After going into executive session Tuesday to discuss what was described in their meeting agenda as pending litigation, the Lake Township trustees agreed to authorize the township administrator to enter into an agreement with a Toledo law firm.

The board of trustees authorized Mark Hummer to prepare a “letter of engagement� for the law firm of Spengler & Nathanson.

Following Tuesday’s meeting, township officials declined to discuss the matter but two members of the board of trustees, Richard Welling and Melanie Bowen, did say the decision to possibly retain the law firm was based on a recommendation by

Philip Dombey, township solicitor.

Welling said a lawsuit wasn’t involved in the decision to meet in executive session.

Hummer also declined to discuss the issue.

According to other sources who asked not to be identified, township employees have discussed organizing a collective bargaining unit.

Last week, State Employee Relations Board notices were posted on doors of some of the offices at the township administration building on Cummings Road.

The SERB forms are notifying employees of a request for recognition with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 245.

The proposed bargaining unit would cover full-time and part-time employees,

including clerical workers in the administration, police department office manager, parks department workers, cemetery workers, streets department employees and the zoning inspector.

Command officers, excluding chief Hummer, and patrol officers in the police department have been unionized since 1994.

Employees have until Dec. 3 to file an objection to the request for recognition with the SERB office in Columbus.

The trustees Tuesday met in a second executive session to discuss personnel issues but took no action.

In response to a question from the audience, the trustees said a special meeting scheduled for Nov. 22 to discuss an employee handbook that’s being compiled has been postponed.

Celebrate Savings On Holiday Decor

Contest winners announced

By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press news@presspublications.com A new logo and motto will boost Genoa Chamber of Commerce efforts in the coming year.

Rebecca Booth won the logo contest and Cynthia Wise took top honors in the motto contest. Each won $250 for their entries. Chamber members and the village administration recognized the winners at the annual chamber dinner Nov. 13.

The chamber and the village sponsored the contest which collected about 50 entries, according to Village Administrator Kevin Gladden.

Genoa chamber members decided early in the year they wanted to change their look, according to board trustee Deb Angelbeck when she announced the contest in the spring on the chamber website.

There was no age-limit for entrants and they could enter as many times as they

wanted – as long as the work was original. The only direction given would-be artists and writers was the entries should reflect the image of the village and evoke a feeling of hometown pride and family values. Submissions were taken until late September.

Booth’s logo carried a simple black and white theme with three blocks highlighting the village water tower, Genoa Town Hall and the farming community.

Wise’s winning entry stated: “Where friends become family, moments become memories and hard work is handed down.”

And while the chamber has embraced the winners, the two entries still have to run through government red tape.

Gladden will be bringing the issue before Genoa Village Council at the first meeting in December.

If council agrees, Gladden hopes to have village entrance signs made up with the new logo and install them in early spring.

Eight Toneff students memorize their way to black belts

By Alex Sobel Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com At the Toneff Tae Kwon Do Studio, a recent set of promotion testing resulted in eight students receiving their black belts, while two others received their second-degree black belts. According to the studio’s founder, Pat Toneff, getting to this level takes an incredible amount of dedication.

“To test for the black belt, they have nine patterns that they have to do. To get through the patterns, it’s literally hundreds and hundreds of moves,” he said.

Tae Kwon Do is a Korean form of martial arts. It would be wrong to think that it’s about violence, though. “(Tae Kwon Do) is the Korean art of self-defense. We do spar and have some good fighters, but we’re not a fight club.

The whole attitude is so important,” said Toneff.

For Toneff, that attitude surrounding Tae Kwon Do is just as important as the physical aspect.

“There’s the tenets of Tae Kwon Do: Courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, indomitable spirit. And every pattern has a little Korean history in it,” Toneff said. “We’ll get five-year-olds in who can memorize all of it.”

For the physical portion, students practice different techniques using hands and feet, as well as ways to escape from holds and defense against weapons.

Though Toneff has rarely heard of his students needing to use these techniques to defend themselves outside of his studio, he believes they’re beneficial for his student in the same way learning an instrument is for a musician.

“To memorize them and do (the patterns) properly, it’s really an art form no different than if you were learning to play the violin. Each pattern a person learns is like learning a piece of music.”

Toneff’s studio is a member of a global Tae Kwon Do organization that sets standards for what is required of a person to move up to each successive level. The requirements include skill and dedication, but also time.

“Depending on your age, it can be any-

Once you have your black belt, it’s a minimum of two years of training to go to your second-degree black belt, and once you have that, it’s a minimum of three years of training to get to your thirddegree,” said Toneff.

Toneff began teaching Tae Kwon Do in 1987 as part of an adult education program, but when students began seeking more regular training than that program

allowed, Toneff started working with students in his home before eventually starting his own studio. For him, he never saw it as a way to benefit financially.

“I’ve never had the school to make money with. I’ve always had other jobs,” he said.

Toneff, who started Tae Kwon Do when he was in his thirties, says that all kinds of people come into the studio as beginners.

“We’ll have people come in at fiveyears-old and people come in at fifty-years-

old. Each person here is an individual who has their own strengths and weaknesses.

We’re here to help you.”

And for Toneff, this latest group of black belts has made a lasting achievement that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

“I always say that anyone who ever becomes a black belt at our school, they can do anything,” said Toneff. “Because they’ve learned how to succeed.”

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda

The Press Poll

What is at the top of your Black Friday shopping list this year?

Are you spending more, less, or the same amount this year for Christmas?

More Less The same Shawn Bryant Toledo "I want a 50 inch ƀat screen for game day and movie nights with the family."

Abbie Hibbs Toledo "I am going to hit the electronics store for a lot of different things but mainly the Sony DVD and VCR combo."

Two sides to the story To the editor: Responsible dog ownership is a lifelong commitment and it requires an understanding of the many obligations that go along with it. First of all, dog owners need to understand that there are other people who for one reason or another are not going to be comfortable around your dog. Even though your dog may be loving toward you, when it is away from you, it has the potential be unpredictable around other people or animals that are unfamiliar.

Secondly, a responsible dog owner needs to understand that there is a financial obligation involved. Animals require licenses, food, grooming and medical care.

If the finances are not there to provide these things, then maybe you should reconsider owning a dog.

Thirdly, being a responsible dog owner requires an understanding of the amount of time it takes to become the leader of your dog. Dogs need to be trained to be under the command of their owner’s voice and time must be spent making sure they are comfortable on a leash when they are not in the safety of their own yard.

That said, there are two sides to every story. The Woodville police officer that shot Moses, the Labrador, has been made out to be the bully in the story. Moses is lucky to not have been pepper-sprayed so that he would have been disoriented and end up running into the traffic, and he is lucky not to have been attacked by the officer’s dog. The officer was trying to do his duty to serve and protect. He did not approach the dog; Moses approached him.

I can agree that maybe the officer did react too quickly before seeing that Moses might be friendly. However, after thinking about my own dogs and what it means to be a reasonable dog owner, I also can see the other side of the story.

Julie Shimming Genoa "Staying home with a candle and a glass of wine. I try to avoid going anywhere on that day!"

Kurtis Tucker Toledo "A new Dell laptop. I usually only do online shopping, so I'll probably just go to Dell. com. I think you ſnd better deals there."

If Moses’ owners had truly been responsible, he would not have been wandering around unlicensed, unleashed and alone. Maybe Moses’ owners should understand they are equally responsible for his injury and apologize to the police department that is there to serve and protect them.

Mary Lee Grieshaber Oregon

Woodville is getting very close to being on this list.

This is a very sad day for this rural community. Maybe the next establishment that tries to open a business in town should put a statue of a crippled dog on the top of the building - like the old police cruiser on top of the Speed Trap Diner).

Roger Habel Woodville

A sad day

A fairer option

To the editor: As if the speed trap reputation is not bad enough to deter businesses from moving to Woodville, where no one wants to drive through, visit or move to, now the village is being inundated with media bombarding the village in regards to the dog-shooting policeman. A dog, I might add, that has been visited and petted by the mayor himself.

How degrading is this? It gets better.

The policeman has been pardoned for this, as thousands of dollars are pouring in from concerned, irate citizens showing their support for the family.

Now the dog has an infection, and his owners have been told he may lose his leg.

I can’t watch and look away when it comes on television every night.

I only hope those who “pardoned” this character toss and turn at night for years to come, waiting for karma to bite them.

What’s next? A human running toward him so the officer shoots? He at least knew the dog wasn’t armed, but I’m sure that will be his excuse when it comes to the human.

Cities nationwide are on the news every day about police shootings and

To the editor: In a recent issue of The Press, a letter to the editor stated that 70 percent of the voters rejected the Woodmore School District request for an approval of an auditorium.

The writer suggests those who voted against the levy should request an income tax to fund the school district. I once again say nay.

I would also like to thank the voters who voted negatively to this outlandish request for more property-owners’ funds.

In the past, I have spent my own funds on signs and other paraphernalia in combating these levies. Believe me, I am not a Johnny-come-lately in battling these unfair taxes.

But I digress. To the writer who suggests an income tax, is this fair to the working people who have no children in school?

I am semi-retired and this tax would not harm me or other senior citizens as much as it would the working men and women of this district. Wouldn’t a sales tax of some sort be fairer? Those who have children in school and are not paying any property taxes, or are not employed would then be able

Are you happy with the outcome of the mid-term elections?

67% No 33% Yes

help burden the funding.

The logistics of this type of tax could and should be worked out by minds much sharper than mine, but I do know it would and could work. Using a sales tax of some sort is the fairest tax there is. If you don’t want to pay it, then buy products that are tax exempt, simple as that.

In the future, anyone needing free signs against any Woodmore levy may contact me.

Terrylee Dembowski

Continue working to overcome self-imposed limits Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

Don’t allow others to impose limitations on you.

“

Behavior patterns are formed based on preconditioning. Some behavior limits are imposed externally. For example, as a child, if you were punished whenever you ate a box of cookies before dinner, you would stop engaging in the offending behavior. However, many of our limitations are self-imposed.

An interesting experiment was conducted with goldfish.

An empty fish tank was divided in half with a sheet of Plexiglas. Water was added and 10 fish were put on one side. Naturally, the fish tried to swim across the tank. After repeatedly bumping into the Plexiglas, they learned it was impossible to get to the other side, and stopped trying to do so.

Once the fish had stopped attempting to move past the barrier, it was removed.

Even though the barrier no longer existed, all of the fish stayed on the one side of the tank. They had become so conditioned that they couldn’t swim across the tank that they behaved as if the Plexiglas was still there.

The same effect happens when you believe, for whatever reason, something is impossible. This mindset prevents you from even attempting any task you think cannot be accomplished. Ironically, you are more often than not stopping yourself based on the erroneous belief that there is some barrier in your way.

These beliefs are just as effective when positive as when negative. A fascinating experiment was conducted in a school district. A number of grade school students were randomly selected from the “slow

learning” classes. They were then put together in one group and told that the reason they were selected was because they had above average intelligence and abilities.

A teacher was then picked at random and told they were being given a class of gifted students. Not only were the student’s academic performance better than it would have been in their original classes, their performance was at, or above, the levels of many of the “normal” students.

People behave in a way that meets the expectations they have. Expectations program your brain as to what it can and cannot do. You won’t succeed at something you are convinced is not possible.

Conversely, you will accomplish goals you

believe are attainable.

Although self-imposed limitations are common, they do not have to be permanent. Since you construct them, you also have the ability to instigate their removal.

Any excuses you make for justifying their existence causes limitations to become more entrenched.

You can emulate the fish tank experiment by refusing to do something you believe to be impossible. You are free to behave as if there is a barrier blocking your progress. Limitations are real only as long as you treat them as such. You will not attempt to go through the sheet of Plexiglas you are convinced exists.

You are also free to emulate the student experiment. Regardless of your past experiences, or whatever negatives you may have been told, you can choose to believe in yourself. Just as occurred with the students, this confidence empowers you to accomplish more than you, or anyone else, thought possible.

Don’t allow others to impose limitations on you. Regardless of your goals, there are those who will have a list of reasons as to why you should not or could not succeed. They may doubt your intelligence, knowledge, skills, ability, or determination.

Don’t listen to these naysayers. If you do, you will be putting sheets of Plexiglas in place which will serve to block your path.

It’s your belief in yourself that is all important. When you think you can, you are right!

Jumping into the open Internet preservation debate

By Candace Clement and Timothy Karr Earlier this month, President Barack Obama added his voice to the nearly 4 million people who have urged the Federal Communications Commission to preserve the open Internet and protect free speech online.

The President’s statement was a clear, concise directive on how the FCC should handle the question of Net Neutrality — the principle that prevents Internet service providers from blocking or interfering with online traffic by creating “fast lanes� for a few powerful companies while relegating the rest of us to a slower tier of service.

Obama first expressed his support for Net Neutrality when he was a presidential candidate in 2007, and he’s since spoken in favor of the principle on several occasions.

But this time was different: Obama finally got specific, calling on the FCC to reclassify broadband under Title II of the Communications Act. Reclassifying would provide the solid legal foundation needed to stop companies like AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon from becoming gatekeepers online.

Obama’s statement was a high-profile

Guest Editorial moment in a year where a once-obscure issue has drawn front-page coverage — and galvanized activists nationwide.

The street outside the FCC’s headquarters was home to a two-week protest encampment in May. And a rally in Washington, D.C. drew huge crowds on May 15, when FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler released proposed rules that would allow rampant discrimination online.

Activists shadowed Obama on a fundraising trip to California over the summer. Protests took place in Manhattan and Philadelphia on September 15, the deadline for comments on the FCC proposal.

On September 10, 40,000 websites participated in the Internet Slowdown, an online day of action where sites greeted visitors with slow-loading pop-ups to show the world what a non-neutral Internet would

look like.

Earlier this month, in response to reports that the FCC was considering new rules that would still permit the creation of fast lanes, vigils were held everywhere from Austin to Boston to Chicago to Minneapolis. And over the course of the fall, people’s hearings have taken place in Brooklyn, San Francisco, and Texas.

It’s important to note that Net Neutrality draws support from both sides of the aisle.

A November University of Delaware poll, for example, revealed that over 80 percent of both Democrats and Republicans support keeping the Internet open.

In response to the President’s statement, Wheeler reportedly told a group of industry lobbyists that his challenge is figuring out how to “split the baby.� The comment suggests he could still be trying to write rules that pay lip service to the open Internet but ultimately allow phone and cable giants to create fast and slow lanes online.

Despite the overwhelming public and political support for Net Neutrality, the chairman — who previously served as a top lobbyist for the cable industry — so far

seems incapable of breaking with his old bosses.

The coalition backing Net Neutrality is as broad and diverse as it is deep. Surely this ocean of support means more than the whispers of the many phone and cable lobbyists who come knocking at the FCC. Wheeler himself claims to oppose the creation of fast lanes. But so far he hasn’t backed those claims up with a proposal that would actually prevent them.

What more does Wheeler need to do the right thing? He now has Obama’s backing and a strong public mandate for real Net Neutrality.

The future of the open Internet is too important to be left to business as usual in Washington. The Internet service providers’ political influence may be formidable, but public opinion favors real Net Neutrality and nothing less.

Now it’s up to Chairman Wheeler to make it happen.

Beware — fewer choices brewing for local craft beer lovers

By Jim Hightower OK, that’s it. No more Mr. Nice Guy. The avarice of corporate power is getting personal.

I’m talking about beer, the nourishing nectar of a civilized society. Since my teen years, I’ve done extensive consumer research on the brewer’s art, from the full array of ales to the most substantial of stouts.

I weathered the depressing era when national bland beer labels like Budweiser and Miller drove a diversity of livelier regional breweries out of business. More recently, I’ve rejoiced as a flowering of craft and micro brews has spread from city to

Other Opinions city. This trend delivered an abundance of real gusto and local flavor from coast to coast.

But beware, ye who love local beer.

Don’t just sit on your duffs doing 12-ounce elbow bends, for here come the big brew bad guys again. And they’re bigger and more menacing than ever.

Thanksgiving: A chance to celebrate the right crowd Page Two

by John Szozda

“

Family is the building block for individual success as well as the foundation of American society.

“

Thanksgiving is the one holiday where we celebrate family without distractions.

No gift giving.

No bowl games.

No fireworks.

The focal point is dinner.

And, conversation.

And, for the young, a chance to observe the elders.

And, they will learn. From the conversation, from the action, from the clothes you wear, to the cars you drive. From the way you treat each other to the way you treat them.

They are sponges.

You may think they are too young to grasp the dynamics of adults. You may think they are self-absorbed, don’t care about you and care less about what you think about them.

But, you would be wrong.

Naturally, parents and siblings have the most influence on children, but aunts and uncles and cousins play a role in child development. Young children may spend more time with these elders and cousins in their early development than with neighborhood friends and their parents. Hence, you may unwittingly make a lasting positive or negative impression on them and influence their future behavior.

One of my sons once told me, when he was a 30-something adult, about the pressure he felt growing up with our large extended family. I’ll paraphrase what he said: It was hard to screw up because everybody was doing it right. They worked hard: One

was a builder, one a mechanic, one a nurse, one a teacher, a few managers. They paid attention to their marriages, shared the workload, went to their children’s sporting events, didn’t drink excessively and didn’t do stupid, bonehead things.

I was surprised when my son told me this. I didn’t think he paid attention to the extended family, what they did and

how they lived. But, in retrospect, it made sense. We share holiday traditions with our family. He saw this extended family was important to us and because children have a natural inclination to emulate their parents, it’s natural for them to emulate their extended family.

Thanksgiving can bring generations together. Elders can impart their wisdom and share the family’s heritage and traditions, adults can show respect and acceptance, particularly to teens who may be struggling with their identity, and children can ask questions and observe.

Have you seen the gutter bumpers and portable ramp for toddlers at the bowling alley? The ramp allows toddlers to push the ball down its incline towards the pins; the bumpers keep the ball out of the gutters. These two devices assure some degree of success for children without the strength and coordination to knock down the pins.

Family should provide young children the same protection from life’s gutters. Family members should provide encouragement and guidance until the young are mature enough to achieve success on their own.

Children who grow up without a strong family are like toddlers bowling without gutter bumpers.

The home should be a refuge where children feel safe and where parents can teach them how to love, how to support each other and how to accept differences in others. It should be a place to teach values, discipline, confidence and life skills, a place where parents can encourage inde-

pendence by diminishing the fear a young person feels entering an uncertain and competitive adult world.

Maintaining good relationships with your immediate and extended family can also provide tangible benefits for you and your children. Aunts, uncles, cousins and siblings with certain skills may donate, or provide at a family discount, their labor, or expertise, or loans, or any number of other benefits that help your family prosper.

Family is the building block for individual success as well as the foundation of American society. The human need for family is so great that those who have dysfunctional families seek the advantages of family elsewhere. Many young men who join gangs will tell you they joined for family. Gangs provide the support, love, sense of belonging and adult role models children crave and need. They may be the wrong role models, but nevertheless, they can greatly influence a young person’s behavior.

It’s ironic that many parents, when talking about a son who has committed a crime, will say, “He’s a good kid, but he just fell in with the wrong crowd.” On the other hand, we seldom hear when someone reaches a pinnacle of success, “He’s a good kid, he rose from the right crowd.”

This Thanksgiving we celebrate the right crowd—family.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Orion Viewing Event The Challenger Learning Center of Lake Erie West will host an Orion First Flight Viewing Event to celebrate the first test flight of NASA’s new spacecraft, Orion, Dec. 4. Orion’s first mission is Exploration Flight Test-1.

The Orion spacecraft is a key component of the NASA human space exploration system that will provide an entirely new capability for the United States – a flexible system able to launch crew and cargo missions, extend human presence beyond low-Earth orbit, and enable new missions of exploration throughout our solar system.

Orion’s first mission will set NASA on the path to accomplishing those goals.

Beginning at 7 a.m., guests are invited to learn about Orion, view the flight from launch to splashdown, and enjoy fun hands-on activities throughout the event.

Guests will hear NASA commentary prior to Orion’s launch, and learn about the flight and mission objectives through interviews with experts at NASA, Lockheed Martin and United Launch Alliance. They will see the launch pad and launch control center, and feel as though they are at the launch site when the main engines ignite.

Lunar and meteorite samples will be on display on Dec. 4 and 13 for the public to view. Admission is free to the public.

For more information about the event, visit www.esclakeeriewest.org/challengerlearning-center.

Students In Action

Young leaders gather for Leadership Toledo event Nearly 200 student leaders from almost 30 area high schools participated in Leadership Toledo’s annual Students In Action leadership/service conference held Nov. 15 at Trinity Episcopal Church in downtown Toledo – the site of both LT’s offices and Food for Thought.

The downtown area was also abuzz with people who came to watch the annual Holiday Parade.

“We chose the downtown location for a variety of reasons,” said David Schlaudecker, LT’s executive director.

“First, we wanted the students to experience the energy of downtown Toledo on the day of a parade. Having the meeting at Trinity allowed us to begin the conference with a service project in support of Food for Thought. Rather than just talking about it, our young leaders began their day packing meals, writing notes and learning more about the large number of area residents who exist without homes and regular meals.”

Throughout the conference, the students learned and honed skills in leadership, communication and collaboration.

“Too often, school boundaries divide the impact of our youth,” Schlaudecker continued. “Through Students In Action, we are hoping to blur those lines and get high school students working together to improve our community. “

Recycling pays Starr Elementary School students earn money and prizes for their school by collecting and recycling the drink pouches used at home and in the lunchroom.

The school has just reached the second level of TerraCycle and Capri Sun’s Drink Pouch Brigade milestone contest by collecting more than 18,000 drink pouches. The students have earned more than $2,100 for their school by collecting the drink pouches.

The Drink Pouch Brigade is a free recycling program that rewards people for collecting and sending their waste to TerraCycle to be recycled or upcycled.

The Milestone Program began in September 2013 when Capri Sun added prizes for collecting certain amounts.

Jillian Bunge, interim director of Food for Thought, with Lake High School student Lauren Mangold. Mangold and almost 200 of her peers assisted in packing lunches for many of the area’s neediest residents during Leadership Toledo’s annual training conference held at Trinity Episcopal Church in downtown Toledo. (Submitted photo) Now, in addition to the money they earn for each piece of waste collected, participants can win prizes made from recycled drink pouches, such as park benches, recycling bins, a playground, and other fun rewards.

“The Milestone Program is meant to inspire individuals and organizations to collect more waste while receiving prizes for their achievements,” said Tom Szaky, CEO of TerraCycle. “It is rewarding to see the students and administrations get so involved in making this work. It’s an

incredible achievement to have kept so many pouches out of the waste stream.”

Thousands of schools and organizations across the United States participate in the Drink Pouch Brigade.

To learn more about the program or to sign up, visit www.terracycle.com.

The program is free to any interested organization or individual, and all shipping costs are paid. In addition, for each piece of waste received, participants earn money for a charity of their choice.

BGSU Bureau of Criminal Investigation crime lab opens On Nov. 10, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Bowling Green State University President Mary Ellen Mazey officially opened the new Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation crime lab located on the campus of Bowling Green State University.

“Opening this new building with all of its cutting-edge equipment and technology will not only help local law enforcement solve crimes, but also opens new possibilities to students who are interested in careers in forensic science and criminal justice,” DeWine said.

The nearly 30,000 square-foot, state-ofthe-art facility will be the home to over 40 BCI staff performing investigative and laboratory services.

Laboratory services include chemis-

try, evidence receiving, firearms and toolmark examination, forensic biology, latent print analysis and trace evidence analysis. Investigative services include Crime Scene Unit; Crimes Against Children Unit; Criminal Intelligence Unit; Narcotics Unit; Special Investigations Unit and Criminal Polygraph Examination.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation provides laboratory and investigative services free of charge to Ohio’s criminal justice agencies. Ohio BCI labs are located in London, Richfield and Bowling Green.

With the opening of the new BCI building, Bowling Green State University will be among a select group of universities nationally with a crime lab located on campus.

The building meets LEED (Leadership

in Energy and Environmental Design) specifications. LEED is certified by U.S. Green Building Council – a national green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices.

The cost of the new building, including furniture and equipment, is approximately $14 million.

In addition to the new building, the Attorney General’s Office and Bowling Green State University announced a new partnership in September to create the Ohio Attorney General’s Center for the Future of Forensic Science. The Center’s mission is to foster innovative forensic scientific research and to create training opportunities for forensic professionals and for students in forensic science-related fields.

Maritime Academy gets $10,000 Representatives from the Flagship Niagara League were in Toledo earlier this month to announce two new partnerships – a new scholarship and training opportunity for cadets at The Maritime Academy of Toledo, and a five-year port agreement with the Put-In-Bay Chamber of Commerce.

Approximately 25 people, including representatives of the Ottawa County Visitor’s Bureau and the Toledo Convention and Visitor’s Bureau attended the press conference held at The Maritime Academy of Toledo.

Shawn Waskiewicz, Executive Director, Flagship Niagara League, presented The Maritime Academy of Toledo with a $10,000 check to help launch a $30,000 Scholarship Trainee Cadet Fund for the school.

“The Flagship Niagara League is contributing the first $10,000 for this program and will be looking for matching funds, private donors, and corporate partners to raise the other $20,000,” Waskiewicz said.

“The funds will pave the way for 20 cadets to go through a two-week trainee program aboard U.S. Brig Niagara during the Summer 2015.”

In September 2014, 10 cadets from The Maritime Academy of Toledo spent one week aboard U.S. Brig Niagara sailing from

Erie, Pennsylvania to Buffalo, New York.

As part of the week-long event, cadets went through ship familiarity training, emergency drills, and stayed aboard overnight.

While aboard ship, the cadets participated in underway activities, watch standing, inport watch, small boat operations, cleaning, and other vessel activities.

“We’ve been monitoring The Maritime Academy of Toledo for some time, said William Sabatini, Captain, U.S. Brig Niagara. “The cadets who participated in the week-long program in September showed that the school and other cadets are ready for this trainee program. The new two-week program is a great learning opportunity for The Maritime Academy of Toledo cadets. Those associated with U.S. Brig Niagara are equally excited.”

At the same press conference, FNL announced details on a new five-year deal with the Put-In-Bay Chamber of Commerce ensuring that U.S. Brig Niagara will be sailing into Put-In-Bay through 2020.

For more information on the Flagship Niagara League, or to become a private donor or sponsor a cadet, please call Waskiewicz at 814-452-2744, ext. 202 or email shawnw@flagshipniagara.org. More details are also available online at www. flagshipniagara.org.

More than 500 ninth-grade students from Benton-Carroll-Salem, Woodmore, Port Clinton, Danbury, and Put-in-Bay High Schools, as well as North Point Educational Service Center, attended a career showcase event entitled “Discover Where Your Talents Can Take You.” Organized by the Ottawa County Business Advisory, hosted by the Civilian Marksmanship Program and sponsored by numerous Ottawa County businesses, the event, held Oct. 24, was the part of an ongoing multi-county initiative to increase communication and partnership between schools and businesses.

The collaborative effort between private sector and education set the stage for students to engage with 16 companies and learn about career opportunities that exist in the communities where they live, play, and learn. Company representatives engaged students in different activities that

demonstrated the skill sets necessary to excel in a broad cross section of careers, including Computer Numerical Control, culinary/hospitality, electrical, engineering, emerging healthcare, machine operation, maintenance, and welding (among others).

Staff and volunteers witnessed a lot of innovative and creative building among students from all of the participating school districts, according to Tricia O’Connor of Lake Erie Adventure Play (LEAP). “The students worked together to create a wide variety of structures, toys and products and had great interaction and energy during their time tinkering. LEAP was excited to be a part of this event and they look forward to next year’s program.”

For more information about the event, contact Jamie N. Beier Grant, director of the Ottawa County Improvement Corporation, at jbgrant@ocic.biz.

Cardinal Stritch Robotics Club to compete at regionals

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com

tured ďŹ ve components â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a project engineering notebook; a marketing presentation; a team exhibit and interview; spirit and sportsmanship; and a robot performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud of our students,â&#x20AC;? said Eric Sieja, a math and engineering teacher who serves as the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moderator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came together as a team and made the necessary adjustments to advance. This is a great group of kids who are incredibly committed to making this work.â&#x20AC;?

The BEST organization is a group that seeks to â&#x20AC;&#x153;inspire students to pursue careers in engineering, science, technology, and math through participation in a sports-like, science- and engineering-based robotics competition.â&#x20AC;? BEST has a number of hubs located across the country that hold competitions similar to the one BGSU hosted for Stritch and the competitors.

Stritch instituted a STEMM initiative

Following their second-place ďŹ nish at Bowling Green State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Falcon BEST Robotics event earlier this month, the Cardinal Stritch High School Robotics Club advanced to compete in the Northern Plains Regional Final competition in Fargo, North Dakota at North Dakota State University on Dec. 4-6.

The BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science & Technology) hub competition saw the Robotics Club come in second behind Anthony Wayne in the 13-team competition of Northwest Ohio schools for the BEST Award. The Robotics Club also ďŹ nished ďŹ rst in the Engineering Notebook competition and was fourth in the Robotics competition. In all, the competition fea-

three years ago, something Rev. Eric Schild, the president of the school, says has helped to create a recent incline in enrollment.

(STEMM refers to the following ďŹ elds of study â&#x20AC;&#x201C; science, technology, engineering, math and medicine.)

According to Stritchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, â&#x20AC;&#x153;STEMM jobs grow annually at a 3:1 rate compared to other sectors of the job market.â&#x20AC;? Stritch was the ďŹ rst Catholic school in Northwest Ohio to adopt the curriculum designed by Project Lead the Way (PLTW), a non-proďŹ t organization based in Indianapolis whose mission it is to provide a â&#x20AC;&#x153;world-class K-12 curriculum (through) high-quality teacher professional development and outstanding partnershipsâ&#x20AC;? in science, technology, engineering and math.

Currently, PLTW has a presence in 6,500 schools across all 50 states.

Local organizations have decided

to throw their hat in the ring as well. In October, the American Red Cross and Mercy Healthcare System joined forces and provided Stritch with medical books, medical mannequins and medical training in an effort to help the students become more acclimated to understanding the medical ďŹ eld. And the University of Toledo had Rob Rieske, a recruiter for the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Engineering, speak to the students about the engineering ďŹ eld earlier this year, and the college also hosted some Stritch students who took part in a local engineering competition against other area high schools.

For more information, check out Stritchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s STEMM link, http://www.katerischools.org/stemm.html.

Randy Gardner honored Ohio’s leading environmental group has honored Sen. Randy Gardner with its 2014 Public Servant of the Year Award, citing his work as Lake Erie’s most effective legislative advocate.

Gardner, who represents five counties in northern Ohio, received the award Nov. 15 at the Ohio Environmental Council’s annual awards dinner in Columbus.

“We are pleased to recognize Sen. Gardner as a true Lake Erie champion and effective legislator on many issues important to the conservation of Ohio’s natural resources,” said Jack Shaner, OEC deputy director.

The OEC highlighted Gardner’s numerous efforts, including establishing the Healthy Lake Erie Fund, Ohio’s first-ever state fund to reduce the disposal of dredge materials in the lake, and for serving as cochairman the Lake Erie Legislative Caucus.

While progress has been made, Gardner said there remains much work ahead to clean up Lake Erie.

“There is no issue more important to our region than a healthy Lake Erie,” Gardner said. “Hundreds of small businesses, tens of thousands of jobs and ensuring safe drinking water for our communities are all at stake. Fighting for the lake is necessary and just the right thing to do.”

Haley Hess, Alex Gedert honored as best in their sport

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com In the first annual Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Golf and Cross Country Honor Rolls, one state qualifier and one near-state qualifier are honored as being the very best in what they do.

Clay junior cross country runner Haley Hess, niece of coach Dave Hess, placed tenth at the Division I state meet — which was higher than any other athlete from the Eastern Maumee Bay community.

At state, the 5-foot-6 Haley finished in 18 minutes, 33.94 seconds. It was not her fastest time of the season – she ran 18:31 while taking fourth place at the regional meet – but it was close. And it was enough for her to earn first-team All-Ohio status for the second straight year.

Hess finished sixth in 18:41.39 last year and 56th as a freshman in 2012, in 19:05.09. She ran with her Clay teammates at the 2012 and ‘13 state meets, but the Eagles were unable to qualify as a team this season. Hess said running by herself on Nov. 1 “didn’t affect me.”

She also won the Cardinal Stritch Invitational and the district title, and was the female runner of the year in the TRAC. Haley also won the Division I district cross country championship at Pearson Metropark, finishing over 13 seconds ahead of second place Notre Dame Academy junior Stephanie Sherman.

On the same course a week earlier, Haley ran toe-to-toe most of the way with the same competitor to win the Three Rivers Athletic Conference meet. There, Haley finished in 18:36.4, defeating Sherman by just 4.1 seconds.

On the other hand, Woodmore senior golfer Alex Gedert did not make it to state, but he came as close as anyone else from the community. His score at district was well below his season average, but Coach Steve Burner saw his talent at state Gedert’s junior year.

Matter of fact, this season Gedert came as close as anyone could without qualifying for state. He shot a 79 at Bowling Green’s Stone Ridge Golf Course during the Division III district meet — one stroke away from qualifying for state.

The Wildcats had won three straight conference titles before last season, when they finished tied for second with Eastwood behind Northern Buckeye Conference champion Lake.

This year, a talented Rossford team took the league title, but Coach Steve Burner said Gedert, a three-time first-team All-NBC performer and four-year letterman. was a good enough leader that next year the ‘Cats should be in the mix. (— Press sportswriter Mark Griffin and Window To Woodmore writer Nate Jackson contributed).

Five contributed to nationally-ranked Arrows

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Mention St. Ursula Academy’s volleyball program and one word comes to mind: winner.

The Arrows’ success over the past 15 years hasn’t come by accident, as 5-foot-3 sophomore libero Jamye Cox will tell you.

“We’re all dedicated,” said Cox, one of four Oregon residents who played for coach John Buck’s squad this season. “There isn’t one second where we second-guess why we play volleyball or go to practice.

We’re working every day during practice.

If you’re not, someone is on your tail. We have to work hard if we want to get where we want to be every year.”

Cox, who was voted first-team All-Ohio in Division I this season by the Ohio High School Volleyball Coaches Association, said she and her teammates are cognizant of how outsiders view St. Ursula’s dynamo of a program.

“We hear what other people say about us, like ‘they’re so good,’ ” Cox said. “We work hard to prove them right. At the end of the day, we’re making it to state and we’re working out butts off. It’s good pressure to have.”

Buck, in his 19th season, assembled another powerhouse team in 2014. The team included Cox and fellow Oregon residents Ryann Cox (Jamye’s older sister), Maurissa Leonard and Stephanie Sylvester, and Woodville resident Erica Schiets.

“My team comes from all over the area, and they have to come together and bond together and be one,” Buck said. “These girls all work at putting team ahead of self.

That says everything that they’re about.”

Leonard, a 5-4 senior defensive specialist and a team captain, was a four-year starter who helped the Arrows compile a 114-5 record and appear in four state final fours, with two state runner-up finishes.

This year’s team finished 28-1 and was ranked No. 1 in the state coaches’ poll and No. 1 in the nation by MaxPreps.

St. Ursula has appeared in five straight state semifinals and captured state titles in 2010 and 2004, while also finishing second three times since 2000. The Arrows were 28-0 when they lost to second-ranked, defending state champion Cincinnati Mount Notre Dame Academy (27-2) in the semifinals on Nov. 7 at Wright State University in Dayton. The Cougars went on to claim their record-tying eighth state title.

The Arrows lost to Mount Notre Dame in last year’s state finals to finish 29-1. The Cougars also beat a 28-0 St. Ursula team in the 2011 state semis, snapping the Arrows’ 48-match winning streak.

Heading to Michigan State Several SUA players have already committed to play in college, including Jamye Cox, who committed to playing for Michigan State in 2017.

“The coaches there were everything I looked for in coaches,” Cox said. “It’s like family at times, but they are hard working and they don’t let you slack off. The campus just looked like home - not too close and not too far away. I liked the family/ team atmosphere.”

Cox earned first-team All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference, All-Ohio and all-district honors this season along with senior teammate Lauran Graves, the TRAC Player of the Year.

Clay’s Brooke Gyori heading to Owens College

St. Ursula Academy senior setter Erica Schiets (5) and sophomore libero Jamye Cox (3) celebrate during the Three Rivers Athletic Conference championship win over Central Catholic. (Press photo by Scott Grau/TRACsports.org) “I was excited and happy,” Cox said of her state award. “Those awards don’t really mean that much to me. Everyone on my team deserves an award. We all work hard. I was happy about it, but sometimes I feel the seniors should be recognized over juniors and sophomores. Our team puts too much into it that not one player stands out.”

Cox, a two-year starter, had a matchhigh 22 digs in the state semifinal loss, and she set a school single-season record with 419 digs. She was also second on the team with 44 aces.

“Jamye was a defensive specialist last year and Maurissa was a libero, and I switched their roles this year,” Buck said.

“It was just the way we set the team. That’s a pretty big feat getting first-team All-Ohio as a sophomore. Jamye is so quick and leads the hitters so well. She makes the hard play look easy. When it looks hard for her, it’s phenomenal for most people.”

Buck called Cox “probably” the best defensive player he’s ever had.

“Obviously she’s an extreme competitor and an easy kid to coach,” he said.

“She’s always talking and trying to help other players be better. She understands the team game. She does her job and does her job well.”

Jamye said she and Ryann, a 5-7 senior and team captain, have always had a friendly sister rivalry on the court.

“We’re competitive and we want to see each other be successful,” Jamye said.

“Ever since we were little we’ve pushed each other to be as successful as we want to be, and we’ve never stopped.”

Ryann Cox, a three-year starter, earned honorable mention All-TRAC honors this year after recording 187 digs and 24 aces.

She will play at Bowling Green State University next year.

“Ryann and Jamye and Maurissa were

something special out there,” Buck said.

“Ryann is a calm, steady player and a really good team leader the kids looked up to.

Just a positive influence on the team. She really cares about people, and I can’t say enough about her senior year. She was such a leader out there.”

Leonard was named to the All-TRAC first team and earned honorable mention All-Ohio honors. She had 11 digs in the state semifinals and finished her career with a school-record 991 digs. She had 252 digs this season, with 21 aces.

“Maurissa is the consumate team player,” Buck said. “She just digs balls and reads and is quick as lightening.”

Sylvester, a 5-8 junior setter, was a second-team All-TRAC and honorable mention all-district selection. She had 41 assists in the state semis, pushing her season total to 740. She also was third on the team with 30 aces.

“With Stephanie, most of the time we ran to a 5-1 (alignment) and sometimes a 6-2 with Erica Schiets,” Buck said. “If there was going to be a team to really challenge us, I needed to run a 5-1. Once we got deeper into the tournament, Steph would have been the one we went to. She was the only setter on the floor, and the setter is your quarterback.

Steph was extremely good at that.”

Schiets, a 5-7 senior, had 222 assists this season and led the team in serve percentage at 97.4 percent.

“She was constantly playing against our first team in practice, to mimic the other team’s offense,” Buck said. “She’s going to go on to play in college next year (at Walsh University) and she will have a good career. She didn’t play a lot in our big matches, but she was prepared every week to be ready to play. She was a phenomenal defensive player who has a really good serve, too. She’s a good kid and I’m happy to say she was a part of our program.”

The Owens Community College women’s volleyball program has signed its first two recruits for next season in Clay’s Brooke Gyori and Bowling Green’s Tyanna Smith.

Gyori, the sister of former Owens volleyball player Kristen Gyori (2007-08), is a defensive specialist/libero. She will be a 2015 graduate of Clay, where she played under the tutelage of Dave Conley.

As a senior, she was named Second Team All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference and Honorable Mention All-District. As a junior, she was Honorable Mention All-TRAC and Honorable Mention AllDistrict.

Academically, the 5-foot-4 Gyori is a three-time Clay All-Academic selection, and she earned All-Ohio Academic honors last year. She is also a member of the softball and cross country teams at Clay.

The Owens volleyball team finished 34-11 overall this fall and 12-2 in Ohio Community College Athletic Conference (OCCAC) play, which was good for a second place finish.

Their season came to an end in the loser’s bracket finals of the Region XII women’s volleyball tournament. The team is coached by Sonny Lewis, who just completed his 14th season and picked up his 500th win along the way. (— Nick Huenefeld/Owens Sports Information)

Correction On the All-Press Girls Soccer Team in last week’s edition, the name of a Woodmore honorable mention selection was incorrectly identified. The freshman defender is Carly Rothert, not Cindy Rothert. The Press regrets the error.

Four local Student Princes reach NCAA tournament

“

By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com

Contributing on defense Hetrick, a 5-6 defender who is majoring in health sciences, started 20 out of 22 games this season.

We had a saying, ‘One Team, One Squad.’ Austin personified that.

“

They came to Heidelberg University from three different local high schools and became champions on the Student Princes’ men’s soccer team.

Tyler Eoff, a senior from Oak Harbor, Jake Hetrick, a junior from Oak Harbor, Garrett McAfee, a sophomore from Woodmore, and Austin Schnabel, a sophomore from Genoa, helped Heidelberg win the Ohio Athletic Conference tournament and qualify for the NCAA Division III tourney for the first time in school history.

“It was always a dream of mine to play college soccer and play in the national tournament,” said McAfee, a 5-foot-7 defender. “I didn’t want to go through my collegiate career and get mid-level results. I was always used to winning in high school.

Helping the team win the (OAC) tournament and get into Nationals was a really big moment in my career.”

Heidelberg reached that milestone in head coach Brian Haley’s 26th and final season. The Student Princes finished 137-3 and upset top-seeded John Carroll, 5-4, for the OAC tournament title. Haley, a professor of education at Heidelberg and a native of Yorkshire, England, said, “I’ve done my time and it’s now time for somebody else to come in and work with the program and keep it at a national level.

“It’s been a pleasure working with the boys,” he said. “It’s bittersweet to move on, and I’ve enjoyed every moment with them.

I’m very proud in the way they represented Heidelberg.”

The Student Princes, who graduate five seniors from this year’s team, lost at rival Kenyon College, 3-0, in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Eoff, one of those five seniors, is a 5-6 midfielder who will graduate with a degree in criminal justice next spring. He started 22 out of 23 games this season and scored four goals with two assists.

“Tyler flies under the radar, but he’s one of the players who helps players around him become better,” Haley said. “He’s high tempo, high enthusiasm with a great work ethic. He listens to what the team needs, and he probably doesn’t get as much recognition as he deserves. We were close to the bottom of the league when he came in (to college) and he goes out as a champion.”

Eoff, who has played club soccer with Hetrick and Schnabel, called his career at Heidelberg “amazing.”

“It was kind of like when I started out in high school,” he said. “We started out iffy and not knowing what to expect. We just got better every season. I had an awesome career.”

He added that winning the OAC tourney title as a senior and qualifying for the NCAA tournament was a long process.

“We had won the OAC (in 2010) the year before I came here, and a lot of those guys left,” Eoff said. “The team was really new and we just didn’t click. Coach changed up his tactics a little bit and it made the team a lot better. It’s been a dream come true. I always hoped for this but I never imagined it would be like that, especially in tournament play winning by little margins.”

At top, No. 12, Heidelberg senior midfielder Tyler Eoff (Oak Harbor) makes a move to get past an opponent. In the lower photo, No. 7, sophomore Garrett McAfee (Woodmore) is on the defense. (Photos by Doug Sampson/Heidelberg Athletics) “Jake worked his way onto the first team after the first six weeks of his freshman year and has been a very consistent starter,” Haley said. “This has been one of his better years. He’s a tenacious defender who knows how to close the opposition down very well. He’s a great team player.”

Hetrick did not score a goal or have any assists this season, but his value as a defender played a huge role in the Student Princes’ success.

“I wish I’d had a goal,” Hetrick said, “but whatever helps the team win. Overall, I thought I had a really good season. I did better defending. I have Erik Fuhrst to thank for that. He was a senior my sophomore year. We really got along and had a connection. He was the right back and I was the left back and we worked really well together and taught each other new things.”

Hetrick said soccer has pretty much dominated his life since he was little.

“I started soccer when I was really

young and my parents brought me up through club teams,” he said. “I played on Tyler’s club team and on one team with Austin Schnabel. There were a lot of tournaments going on with club teams. I played in the fall in high school, during summer with the club team, winter indoors. Soccer has been consistent in my life.”

Hetrick related winning the OAC tournament to being a member of Oak Harbor’s Sandusky Bay Conference championship teams as a freshman and junior.

“That was amazing,” he said, “but this (year) was even better because this was something we achieved more than the 2010 team did, when they won the conference.

We won the tournament and actually made it into the NCAA tournament bracket. I thought we would get better and better and win the conference at least once during my career.”

Haley said he sees a lot of potential in McAfee, a 5-7 defender who is majoring in

early childhood education and minoring in Spanish. McAfee played in 11 games and started seven, recording one assist.

“I’ve been waiting for him to make a statement,” Haley said. “He made his statement this year as his confidence grew. He always had the ability. He played in the big games, in the championship game against John Carroll and in the semifinal games. He can improve even more. He added a lot of value to the program in the last year. Kudos to him that he’s shown what he can do. He’s a student of the game, and it shows. He has a great passion for it.”

McAfee, a roommate with Schnabel – yes, Woodmore and Genoa graduates can live together peacefully – said his “welcome to college soccer” moment came in a preseason game against Ohio Dominican last year.

“My very first game, I got in and started,” he said. “During the game I played this kid down the right flank. We were side by side and he put a shoulder into me and knocked me on my butt. It was completely legal. That threw a wakeup call at me that I have to be way more aggressive and step up my game.”

McAfee said he was happy with his season and plans to come back stronger in 2015.

“I stepped up in many ways,” he said. “I grew and got my confidence back. I trained in the offseason and came back ready to compete for my position. Our defense will not change at all next year. We are all sophomores and Jake’s a junior, so we’ll still be the same team fighting for positions.”

Haley saved some of his biggest praise for Schnabel, who didn’t see any game action this fall.

“Austin is still learning the fundamentals of the game, but he has a great work ethic,” the coach said. “We had a saying: One Team, One Squad. Austin personified that. He was there every day, training and focused on what makes the team better. He made everybody better through his tenacity and work ethic. He’s a great role model for other players who may be more gifted.

Positive people achieve more things, and Austin is a great testament to that.”

Schnabel, a 5-7 defender who is majoring in business, said he did whatever he could to help his teammates get better.

“I wanted to play,” he said, “but I know Coach was trying to do what’s best for the team. I want to do what’s best for team, too.

Every day I just come to practice and play hard and make myself better in the process.

We all work for each other. I worked my butt off in practice and helped the other guys along the way.

“It felt amazing to be on the team, to see all the hard work pay off and win the OAC. Coming from a small town and playing for a team in the NCAA tournament, it means a lot.”

Football stats tell slightly different story

They say statistics can tell a story, but the story this year’s prep football stats tell is slightly different than the season’s results.

For instance, Woodmore quarterback Connor Bringman leads the area in passing, throwing for 2,224 yards despite his team finishing 0-10. But that was an 0-10 for a young team that could easily have been 5-5 or better because of close games where the Wildcats just couldn’t finish.

The Wildcats, under first-year coach Brian Spicer, lost to Toledo Christian (2421), Fairview (23-18) and fell in overtime to Fostoria (32-26). The Wildcats also fell to Elmwood, 26-16, after holding a 10-0 lead early in the game. In the loss to the Redmen, Bringman completed 18-of-38 passes for 240 yards and three touchdowns

Credit Cards Accepted

and rushed for another score Then, you have University of Findlaybound quarterback Jared Rettig, who threw for “only” 1,876 yards after leading the area his sophomore and junior seasons.

However, you can take into account that the future NCAA Division II quarterback completed 76 percent of his passes, played with an injured shoulder, even missing considerable time while his younger brother Jacob stepped in, and secondyear coach Mark Emans wanted Lake’s offense to be more balanced.

For Lake, everything else went as planned, except losses to Genoa and Eastwood which ultimately destroyed their hopes for a Northern Buckeye Conference championship and a playoff bid.

There are more stories told by these stats, like the 2,000-plus yards that Genoa running back Jake Wojciechowski ran for, scoring 29 touchdowns in the process.

Even though the back ran with the football

245 times, he averaged 8.5 yards per carry.

There is another top performer whose stats don’t quite tell the story of how he played, or how his team could have finished the season. That is all-purpose Northwood senior back Dominik Bermejo.

While he missed roughly half the season, the Rangers struggled, but he returned in time for Northwood to defeat Gibsonburg in a high-profile Toledo Area Athletic Conference match-up that cost the Golden Bears a league title.

Northwood coach Ken James says Bermejo was his “big play man on offense” and he “saved his best for big games.”

Bermejo had several plays, both running and passing, over 60 yards, and James said the “threat of him running the ball made us much tougher to defend.”

Bermejo, a three-year starter, still finished the season running for 619 yards on just 64 carries, an average of 9.4 per attempt, and he caught 10 passes for 179 yards.
